The Mawlid - The Blessed Birth Of The ProphetThis book, which is a lesser known work of Imam Ibn Kathir, seeks to
present the circumstances surrounding Quraysh and Abd al-Muttalib, the
grandfather of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him
peace), some of the premonitory dreams and oracular announcements of
his coming, and the birth itself and early years of the Messenger of
Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), some of his outstanding
merits and noble qualities of character, and traditions relating to his
high position as the Chosen One (Mustafa)and Beloved (habib) of Allah
and Seal of the Messengers of Allah. The author s careful choice of
traditions and his sifting the original material from the earliest
sources is here reinforced by the modern editors of the text and their
judicious checking and assessment of the traditions cited.
Ibn Kathir

The Imam, hafiz and historian Imad ad-Din Abu l-Fida Isma'il ibn Umar
ibn Kathir was born in 701/1301 near Busra in Syria, and grew up in
Damascus where he studied the traditional sciences of Islam with a wide
variety of teachers, among the most famous of them being Shaykh Alam
ad-Din al-Qasim ibn Muhammad al-Barzali and Hafiz Jamal ad-Din Abu
l-Hajjaj Yusuf ibn Abd ar-Rahman al-Mizzi. However, it is as a student
of Shaykh al-Islam Taqi ad-Din Ahmad ibn Abd al-Halim ibn Taymiyah that
he is best remembered. He is well known for his history al-Bidayah wa
n-nihayah, his work on the biography of the Prophet (may Allah bless him
and grant him peace) as-Sirat an-nabawiyyah and his work on Qur anic
commentary Tafsir al-Qur an al- Azim. He died in Damascus on Thursday
26th Sha ban 774/1373 and is buried there by the side of his shaykh Ibn
Taymiyah, may Allah have mercy on them both, in the Sufi Graveyard.
